Guild Wars 2

So my system is as follows:

Amd phenom 9500 (4 cores at 2.2ghz)
8gb ram
XFX AMD 7770 ghz edition
I updated my graphics drivers about a month ago, and have been playing on my pc for at least a month, all has been well.

I too am having game crashing issues. I too was on my engineer. The first crash I experienced, was yesterday, Feburary 19th 2015. I logged in, and client downloaded files; I was doing my story, (not sure what chapter), and while following the arrows, I followed an Azura gate that left me in LA, as soon as the game loaded, it crashed (screen went black, all same symptoms as described above).

I reset computer (hard reset, by power button), and loaded engineer, bam, as soon as loaded, game crashed.

I got on my laptop (AMD A6 3500 i believe; its like the first gen apu), logged into engineer, game didn’t crash, so I warped to ascalon as I planned on doing AC later.

Today, I log into my engineer, go into AC, path 1; kill queen, kill kholer, start going down the stairs, the fire kills me (bad timing lol), and as soon as i go into downed state, game crashes.

This is a recent problem, very recent, GW2 is the only game I play. I know it has to do with the game, possible the game/gfx card combo. But it HAS to be the game, because until recently, the game ran fine on my XFX AMD 7770. Only after the most recent time my client downloaded files did I have this problem.

TLDR: My XFX AMD 7770 didn’t crash for a month leading up to the issue, after my client downloaded files for GW2, my game now crashes my computer. My laptop with an AMD A6-3500 APU (slower gfx card, slower cpu cores) does not crash at all.
